A rare lakefront estate where space, silence and opportunity still exist. There are places that are simply land, and there are places that change the way you live. This is one of them. Set directly on the edge of the Barragem Monte da Rocha, this almost 15-hectare estate offers something that is becoming increasingly rare in Portugal: true privacy, open space, and direct contact with the water in a protected natural landscape. Here, life slows down. The views are wide, the air is clean, and the only sound is nature. At the same time, you are not isolatedOurique is just a short drive away, with all essential services within easy reach. This is a property that combines retreat and practicality, lifestyle and investment potential, in one single place. The house The main house is designed for comfortable everyday living, with light, space and a natural connection to the outdoors, all with beautiful views over the lake. Inside, the layout offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it ideal for both family use and hosting guests. There are also 2 living rooms, allowing flexibility for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home. Large windows and direct access to the covered terrace create a strong connection with the outside and make the lake view part of daily life. Whether enjoying breakfast in the morning light or dinner at sunset, this space is designed to be lived in and enjoyed throughout the year. A large covered terrace extends the living area outdoors and offers a peaceful place to relax while overlooking the water and surrounding landscape. The house sits within a landscaped garden of 6,500m² with a swimming pool, offering both privacy and comfort. It has been updated with recent windows and an insulated roof, improving energy comfort throughout the year. Solar panels with batteries and a borehole provide independence and efficiency, making the property more self-sufficient and ready for year-round living. The ruins Beyond the main home, the estate includes a second registered land parcel of 14.45 hectares with 4 official ruins, totalling 561.75m² of registered construction area, located directly by the lake. This land includes an olive grove and benefits from two separate entrances, offering the possibility to divide the parcel and create two independent lakeside villas, subject to the necessary approvals. In total, the estate offers approximately 1.5 km of private lake frontage, an extremely rare feature in this region. This is where the true potential of the property opens up. The ruins offer the possibility to create additional homes, guest accommodation, or a tourism or wellness project in one of the most privileged natural settings in the region. Very few properties combine this level of land size, lakefront position, and existing registered building rights. Outdoor The outdoor space is the essence of this estate. Almost 15 hectares stretch along the lake, forming a landscape of peace, water and open horizon. The feeling here is one of complete freedomno dense neighbours, no noise, just uninterrupted nature and space to breathe. For horse lovers or professionals, the infrastructure is already in place and well planned: 10 horse boxes, saddlery room, internal and external wash areas, a sand arena and connected paddocks that allow for easy movement and management. Around the main house, the landscaped garden and pool area create a private and relaxed environment, perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings. The area The estate is located in a protected natural zone near Barragem Monte da Rocha, ensuring that the surrounding landscape remains preserved and untouched. At the same time, everyday convenience is close. The town of Ourique is just a short drive away, offering supermarkets, restaurants, healthcare services and transport connections by road and rail. This combinationseclusion in nature with essential services nearbyis exactly what makes this part of the Alentejo so sought after. It is one of the few regions where large private landholdings, lake access, and building potential still come together in a meaningful way. A property like this is not just about owning land. It is about securing space, freedom and long-term value in a location where those qualities are becoming increasingly rare.
